The Admiral’s Edition expansion will require ownership of the original War in the Pacific game. Many additional man-years of development from a dedicated and experienced team including subject matter experts and experienced programmers has resulted in an improved War in the Pacific experience across the board. The Admiral’s Edition expansion is currently scheduled for an early Summer, 2008 release.
David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said, “War in the Pacific is a masterpiece of computer wargaming and we undertook this project with the utmost respect for the original design. Since it was originally released in 2004, War in the Pacific has provided countless hours of enjoyment and an unmatched immersive wargaming experience. At the same time, all that play has revealed some rough edges that needed smoothing and also given us many ideas in terms of how to build on the existing design to fulfill some of the wish lists players have posted. War in the Pacific: Admiral’s Edition is the achievement of that goal and should give fans of War in the Pacific many more years of unparalleled gameplay.”
Joe Wilkerson, Project Lead for Admiral’s Edition, commented, “A team of over two dozen programmers, artists and researchers has worked on virtually every aspect of War in the Pacific for over a year now and reaching the point where our work is ready to be announced is very gratifying. This has been a massive undertaking of which we are extremely proud and I am thankful to all who have given and continue to give their time to this project. We look forward to introducing ourselves to the community over the coming weeks and months and sharing with you our vision for the Admiral’s Edition. To the War in the Pacific community, who are familiar with some of our work on the 1.8x series of updates I can only say – you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!”
Although the individual improvements are far too numerous to mention in this initial announcement, the highlights alone should grab the attention of any War in the Pacific fan. Many more details will be released as War in the Pacific: Admiral’s Edition draws closer to release.
